@darri only continuing up to a point like I said. If it doesn't show profit by the end of July I will be pulling it.

@richard-latimer just wanted to show you facts rather than opinions. I wish you all the best mate and i hope you turn a corner with all this asap. My thoughts and opinions havent changed and hopefully it resonates that it wasnt just me who said those things last month and the month before. I said id follow for the rest of month see how you get on and you seem to want to continue with this strategy and if that is the case i hope with tweaks to come you pull it back in your favour. Good luck

From your posts you have deposited £55, you started with £59.91. your current bank is 109.85. So still a £5 loss since you came back, just trawled through to see. You are still depositing more than you are making.

I was, you're right. Can't say any more than that. There's a lot I've done in the background. If things go wrong they do but I'm looking forward. I'll deposit £5 more next Friday as well and the Friday after that. Challenge is to be matching or bettering that in profit. Based on the last 2 weeks I can do that.

We'll see.

@darri since that fateful day I've put £30 in and made £16.83 profit on the top.

The deposit is only that high as I'd put aside £5 a week to go in but wasn't going to do it until it made a difference to the calculated stake. As I had hit a sticky patch this didn't happen for a bit.

I can only go on what's happening now and at the moment it's looking good. Like I said before though, I've only given myself until the end of this month to make it work.

@richard-latimer how much is p/l and how much is this you adding money to bank?

I'll work it out in a bit but since 24 June it's been very good.

[Richard Latimer]

That appears to be it for the day as Gefle, the last on list potentials has just passed the point where nothing that can happen will make any difference.

I did lay under 5.5 in Dalkurd as well but didn't post as it was a late lay which ALMOST hit the trading plan. Basically scoreline didn't quite fit but as my losing lay yesterday was so.cheap I used the money saved there to put another cheap lay in as I thought there was a fair shout. Ended 5-1 so all good.

New bank £109.85

Calculated new stake £2.04

Finally over the minimum stakes hump.

Lay under 2.5 Malmo

Bolivia is back today but a quick look at the leagues and they haven't played since May so entirely understandable if they are rusty. Covid seems to have hurt that league more than any other. A look through scorelines in Bolivia since I started tracking these shows a distinct lack of goals in a league that usually ships them for fun.

As is, I've removed 3 potentials from todays list and will wait for 4 matches from the resumption before considering them again.

In days gone by I would have either pullled the trigger and then regretted the loss or at least watched and then prob be tempted into a bad trade. My precarious situation and the advice I have been given recently that it's now or never for me, has me looking at things in a whole new more careful and cautious light.

If I'd been able to do this a few years back I'd be light years away from where I am now. Better late than never.

@richard-latimer well done mate, that's great to hear!

[Richard Latimer]

2/3 today and no regrets. Each one was on the trading plan. If anything I would have noticed the Fylkir opportunity earlier and got a worse price with around 10 minutes to go. As is I laid that @ 1.24.

New bank after today is £105.99. New calculated stake for tomorrow is £1.97.

So close it's within spitting distance! A good day tomorrow and hopefully I can say goodbye to minimum stakes (for good would be nice).

11/14 trades now since 24 June so still moving in the right direction.

Here's tonights. Was getting ready for a FH trade when Thor scored in the 20th but as so often happens the 2nd was almost instantaneous. Could have got on the lay FH under 1.5 for around 2.34 but I choose to stick with my trading plan. Sometimes it sucks arse to miss them and under times I'll pay less when there is no goal so swings and roundabouts.

I often ask myself why I'm wating for these designated entry points when I missout on so many by doing so and I think the answer is twofold. One, I'm a little bit scored with a small bank of laying at the higher odds as it the betfair minimums make it tricky and I can't be bothered with the workarounds anymore.

The other reason is that guaranteed time I have between a goal going in and my entry point is the perfect time to check, double check and triple check that it's the right call.

Typical, as I say this now, that game has gone 2-1 so it's a goal fest!
